Expression of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor in macrophage-like cells from brain tissue: immunochemical characterization by fusion protein antibodies

Journal of Neuroimmunology

Abstract

Antibodies designed to recognize a 74 amino acid sequence of the N- or C-terminal domain of the rat CB1 cannabinoid receptor detected a 58 kDa protein in immunoblots of brain and various cells known to express the CB1 cannabinoid receptor. A human B-lymphoblastoid cell line and macrophage-like cells from neonatal rat brain were also positive for CB1 receptor-like immunoreactivity. Immunocytochemical analysis performed with isolated Fab fragments showed surface staining in NG108-15 cells and brain macrophage like cells which also express MHC class II antigens. The data suggest a plausible role for CB1 receptors in the immune function of brain.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
